Trump Pledges to Reopen Investigation Into White House Cocaine Discovery
The former president claims the cocaine found in July 2023 may have belonged to Joe or Hunter Biden and criticizes the handling of the initial probe.
- A bag of cocaine was discovered in a storage area near a public West Wing entrance in July 2023, prompting an evacuation before being identified as cocaine.
- The Secret Service closed its investigation ten days later, citing a lack of physical evidence and no actionable leads from DNA or fingerprint analysis.
- President Trump, in a recent interview, expressed his belief that the cocaine may have belonged to Joe or Hunter Biden, referencing Hunter's history of substance abuse.
- Trump criticized the initial investigation for allegedly destroying key evidence and vowed to pursue a new probe into the matter during his presidency.
- No evidence has been presented linking the Biden family to the cocaine, and the Secret Service reported that surveillance footage did not provide any leads.
